I can’t parse that at all. Think who’s related? What does any of that mean?

Using a “men at work” sign is making it so women don’t enter the construction business. Chastising workers about this is doing feminism.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that it's mainly conservatives saying you should be able to get along regardless of politics, not liberals.

Conservatives complain about being alienated from their families over politics all the time, and whenever there’s a news story about how liberals won’t be friends with or date them, they use it as proof that libs hate anyone different than them. It definitely occurs on both sides of the aisle.

But with very different characteristics, right? That's kind of the crux of it

Conservatives who won't be friends with liberals do it because they think the liberals are immoral or shrill.

Liberals who won't be friends with conservatives do it because they think the conservatives are destroying the world and killing people.

Sure, I’m just saying “we all should be able to get along!” isn’t a liberal or conservative argument, it’s an argument made by people who are too rich for it to matter.

Not a hill to die on dude

Christman’s perspective is that Warren kneecapped the only viable socialist candidate in generations and thus hosed things up on a long term basis. All Bannon is doing these days is running some weird Mind Warrior think tank or some poo poo. Not trying to get into a D&D argument (and especially not trying to get into an argument about Red Scare because who gives a gently caress) here but it really doesn’t seem unreasonable.

I get it, warren’s definitely being damaging right now and sure bannon isn’t at the height of his power so, I just think it’s a needlessly hot take, and there’s absolutely no reason to defend red scare podcast at all, let alone for having bannon on.

And with that I’ll let it go lest I become an iosm

Am I the IOSM for thinking that it's correct that if we have more expansive/better ways to test for COVID that we'll see 'more' cases of it? I thought part of the threat was that it's dormant for a long time so a lot of people have it and are not aware of it.

No, why would you be? Of course there will be more confirmed cases as testing goes up, which also means the death rate will probably go down because more people will be confirmed who aren't so bad as to be hospitalized. Doesn't make it less dangerous.

I had some hope about 10 days ago because of a newspaper article claiming that things were plateauing , but obviously that doesn't mean anything because 2 weeks later the lockdown is still in effect.

Even if they are plateauing the lockdown should remain in effect for quite a while. It's not gonna suddenly be fine to go out because new cases have dropped.

To be fair most cynical leftists I know also believe the American public would accept that. I certainly wouldn't be surprised by it after the protests here in Michigan where a guy was nearly crying about how he couldn't buy lawn fertilizer. Yes I realize Adams is saying that would be a fair trade rather than a grim commentary on our terrible society

you might think its bad to continue the cycle of taking culture from an oppressed people to provide entertainment and self-promotion at no benefit to the people you have stolen from, but have you considered, how to say 'the', in afrikaans??

Have you considered the fact that many common American dialects exist with “da” in them and that writing it out could just as easily be a product of picking those up?

I'm noticing a lot more Facebook comments (I know I know) mentioning how Sweden is handling Covid and wishing Canada would be more like that (ironically coming from people who consider Sweden a hellish socialist hellhole most every other year) and I am wondering where did this particular talking point even originate from. Did Fox News all of a sudden praise Sweden? Did someone mass tweet a Swedish link?

Sweden handling it in a laissez-faire way has been a big international story for a while. Also it’s going really terribly!
